As the play opens Lorraine has experienced something of an emotional break-down in work and has been encouraged by her employers to seek therapy. But as a token of hope and redemption the baby boy Amber gives birth to and names Gem brings the women together as they close the play by sharing a bed with the child each contributing to the care of the child.

At the moment in the garden I have rocket gone to seed but still tasty, including the flowers, if a little hot , mizuna and endive, which are picked almost daily.

I also grow Cavolo Nero as a summer salad crop - even though it is a winter cabbage. If you eat the leaves very young - just a few inches long - they are very tasty and good raw. Eat them raw when mature and you fart for a week. Curly endive is the only summer chicory that really works raw and adds exactly the right amount of bitterness to a salad. All are very hardy and trouble-free. You can blanch it by tying the mature plants up with raffia or string, and this does make them sweeter, although it also makes a lovely warm, damp place for slugs to hang out - and anyway, I grow endive because it is slightly bitter.

I said 'summer' chicory because radicchio is obviously essential but doesn't like high summer or wet winters for that matter.

  • I find that it grows best when sown in mid-summer and brought on for autumn. It will overwinter well as long as it is protected with a cloche from too much wet or cold. See how far we have come from iceberg without needing to go much beyond a window box and a few packets of seed. We have had a pile of prunings lying in the orchard since February.

    In fact it was about four piles, one of the prunings from all the pleached limes, one from the willows that we radically cut back this winter I planted them as finger-sized cuttings in and they are now 30ft tall , one from all the non-compostable stuff from the borders - cardoon and sunflower stems - and another of prickly prunings - rubus, raspberries and gooseberries. The plan was to shred it all, leave it to rot down for a few months and use the shreddings to mulch all the new hedging that we have planted this spring. But the wet meant that we couldn't get a shredder to the piles.

    Over the past few months, the grass of the orchard has both grown up and through the prunings and simultaneously been killed and made dock-infested by them. It was ordered to cope with 4in diameter wood.

    Local Offer

    Anything bigger than 2in was rejected scornfully, and anything bigger than 1in reduced it to a spluttering old man. So Gareth shredded what he could and we have burnt at least half the piles - which we could have done straightaway and the ash would be enriching the ground by now.

    I know there is a school of thought that says you should leave piles of prunings in heaps to provide cover for insects and mammals, but we live in the middle of the country and there is cover everywhere. What we don't have is enough organic mulch.

    Burning is environmentally dodgy and socially tricky if the wind is in the wrong direction. Why can't you hire or buy a proper shredder for the job? Why does it cost so much per day?

    I can't get too cross though because we have had an astonishingly good first half of May. This is when living through months of winter mud and greyness is justified.

    Where to go

    The garden makes a million greens and each one is jewel-like, transfixing. This is why I live in England and in the country. And the lateness of the season with the coldness of April has worked for us. The blossom is as good as I have known it. The tulips have stayed much longer than last year, overlapping the alliums and the hawthorn. We did not cut our first asparagus until 10 May, but it is now growing like demon shoots. It is as though all the spring experiences are being compressed and expanded to fill every inch of the time available. Lettuce needs cool temperatures to germinate, and may become dormant if the soil is above 20 C.

    They like a rich soil with good drainage. Most lettuce is best sown in drills about in deep as thinly as possible. Water the drill before you sow the seed. Flick the soil back over the sown drill and mark it. Thin as soon as the seeds can be handled, leaving an initial inch between seeds, then use the young lettuce alternately until the final crop has 4in space between each plant. I now sow all my lettuce individually in soil blocks or plugs in a cold frame or a greenhouse and transplant when they are a few inches tall they resist slug attacks.
